Hey ppl Do U remember (my) this post!? : ;D
Nomad! Maybe I asked U a strange question. But, walking on earth as Hun(=Human) is part of Tengrizm.
White man thinks that human is descendant of an ape -Maybe. But Mongols think that Tengri is the one & only father ancestor.
About WALKING On EARTH As HUN.
Mongols say "Buh yum uchirtai"="Everything has reasons" means "There is nothing that U can`t explain. =Every why? has answer. ".
For exmpl : Woman has cold-er buttocks than men -Why?.(Mongol story)
Because! -Once upon time firts two humans, men & women, came to middle earth from sky. They did not know that in middle earth lived hairy Demons(=maybe animals). Demons started to chase them!(=hunt) Woman was weak, she couldn`t run fast, she even used to fall in mud, her buttocks were in cold water/snow, many times. Then Tengri gave them A HORSE, Men rode horse & started to chase Demons. Now human was real Hun. However since then women has cold butthocks. THE END.
I think, Nomad! U did not noticed, how most chinese walk. They walk this way :
They walk like Charley Chaplin.I mean they don`t put their feet straight when they walk.
So there must be a reason for that. There is only one reason why they walk this way. Mongols think that humans(=not real HUNs!) that has no "Spiritual horse" walk this way.
The Spiritual horse.(I think every descendant of a Nomad/Rider has it.)
Every Mongol believe that it has a spirit called "Khii-Mori"="Invisible Horse" means "Spiritual horse". Also "Khii-Mori" is translated as "Good luck". This spiritual horse can become weak. Buddism has books to make it strong & every year give flags to put on Ovoo(=cairn, Kurgan?). In old times, Shamans helped or U needed to climb on top of your sacret mountain & put some stones on cairn.
1.When human stand on earth it puts it`s legs this way.
2.When human ride a horse it puts it`s legs this way.
And when HUN walk or run it puts legs this way :
-Hun walk straight, it means he still not landed from his horse, still riding some invisible horse.
Not straight walk :
There are few reasons why U walk not straight :
1. U are too old to ride a horse, U have lost your spiritual horse and became walker. U even use stick for 3rd leg.(Or U are too young to ride a horse)
2. U became too fat for your spiritual horse, can`t carry U.(your legs can`t carry U).
3. U are not descendant of Tengri. U are not horsemen, so don`t have spiritual horse.
4. U are a woman!. Woman can walk this way. Beacause woman is a Mother and she must be close to Mother Earth. I mean she must carry her baby and walk on earth, it is hard to carry your baby on horse back.
Why all men must walk straight? Mongols say :
"Er huni dotor
Emeeltei hazaartai mori bagtddag." is translated as "Inside of a man there is a horse with saddle & bridle" actually it means "Man can do anything. or Man can go far".
I think it is not just Mongol way of thinking. Every nation want that their army soldiers walked straight. Even Fashion models try to walk straight -humans think that it looks majectic. -So Mongols have answer to this WHY.
BE THE RIDER! Not WALKER! BE Close To TENGRI(=Sky, steppe supremme god).
